Post-COVID-19 syndrome: A narrative review

Abstract

Background: COVID-19 Pandemic recoveries have increased but it has been found that many patients have been experiencing short to long term sequel of the disease that needs attention. Since there is no universally accepted definition of Post COVID-19 syndrome by consensus it is defined as signs and symptoms which even continue for more than 12 weeks and are not explained by alternative diagnosis. Aim: This review aims to acknowledge all the recent studies on Post-COVID-19 syndrome and get in depth knowledge regarding Post-COVID-19 sequel and its effect on quality of life.Discussion and Conclusion: SARS-COV-2 has immensely raised global morbidity & mortality rate as it leads to severe damage to multiple organs even after the recovery but there is limited literature on the potential pathophysiological mechanism of post COVID-19 syndrome, thus there is need for further research studies on Post-COVID-19 syndrome.
